Torre de Pero Niño, Medieval castle in San Felices de Buelna, Spain.

The rectangular tower stretches 14 meters in length and 9 meters in width, with walls measuring 90 centimeters thick at the foundation level.

Built in the late 14th century by Alfonso Niño Laso de la Vega, the tower became a subject of inheritance dispute between Pero Niño's daughter and nephew.

The stone structure houses an exhibition detailing the life of Admiral Pero Niño through multimedia displays and historical artifacts from medieval times.

Visitors can explore three distinct levels, including the ground floor storage area, the lord's quarters on the second level, and the observation post above.

The eastern facade features large pointed arch doorways and windows that once supported wooden galleries used for medieval defense purposes.
